About the experience

🇩🇴 I was born and raised in Puerto Plata. I know every corner, every story, and every secret of my city. I'll take you to discover the historic Fortress, the colorful Camino Doña Blanca, the iconic Sombrillas, the heart of Parque Central, the cacao tradition at Fábrica de Chocolate, and the paradise of Playa Dorada. We'll finish with a delicious traditional Dominican meal. It's not just a tour; it's experiencing the true essence of the Caribbean with someone who truly loves it.
